i think it's critical, ali. a lot of these inconsistencies can be reconciled if the economy were growing. it is when the pie starts to shrink or doesn't grow fast enough that these become so divisive and become paralyzing. you know, we know lots of companies that have very strong balance sheets. that have lots of cash on their balance sheets. but they're not investing and ask them why, they say, we don't know what the environment looks like. tell us what the environment looks like, so we can calculate the potential return on investments and we'll invest. if uncertainty prevails, the risk premium is very high and you price out a lot of investment activity that's good for everybody. >> they might go somewhere elsewhere they'll have more certainty. all of the fiscal cliff madness is about spending and revenue. in other words, what you would call a budget and there's nothing more broken in washington than the budget process. >> if you are not yet outraged. stay with us and you will be. people really love snapshot fr

i'm ali velshi, this is your money. debt ceilings, budgets and debt ceilings are all you're going to here coming out of washington the next few months and the partisan warfare in washington could put a dent in recovery. the threat is real. the next battle will be another clash over raising the u.s. debt ceiling. the current ceiling was officially hit on december 31st. but like last time. the u.s. treasury is using extraordinary measures to get through about late february or early march. if congress doesn't act by then, the government risks not being able to pay some of its bills. republicans seem to think the debt ceiling is a useful tool to limit how much the government spends, but that is not what the debt ceiling law is supposed to do. it gives the u.s. treasury the flexibility to borrow money to pay the government's bills without going to congress to get approval every single time. it has nothing to do with spending control or debt control. let me be clear, you might think it's about spending control. you might like

ali -- you don't look at ali -- 40 and he's an old guy and he can't win. like, he's a god.t that's just energy going around. this guy's a god. you heard about him for years. >> jimmy: how old were you? >> probably 15, 14. and so i go there. he gets -- he really gets mercilessly beat. and holmes just really beats him bad. so everybody goes home. not a word said in the car. so cus is on the phone with ali the next morning. and he's talking about me. he's angry at muhammad because he's saying how he never beat you. he's saying, i have a young kid who is going to be champion one day. he's 14. say something to him, ali. and he was saying that he was sick, and he took medicine. and he got sick. and i was crying, because i'm a schmuck. right? [ laughter ] [ sobbing ] and when i get big i'm going to get him for you. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: crying. yeah, and then here's the cool part. you did. >> yeah, i did.

>> well, let's be fair, ali.hey've just stopped using the debt ceiling as a bargaining tool and decided to put it off for three months and try to negotiate. we can all admit that is a proak tich, constructive, positive step in the right direction. you would agree with that. secondly, he did promise to say we will work towards health care entitlement reform in a bipartisan way. you heard it. i heard it. let's see if they can move on it. some folks are shaking their heads, don't believe it, but he said it to you. let's hold him to it. >> we'll see. i asked him why rep rans and democrats didn't go with something like simpson/bowles and it looked like a plan that had something from both sides and left everyone a little bit unhappy. here's what he said. >> when the president set up the commission, he specifically told the members of that commission not to deal with health care because obama care had just passed. well, if you're not dealing with health care, you're not dealing with the main drivers of the debt. >> all

host: ok, let's start with ali noorani. guest: the national immigration forum are supported by a range of individuals, from the liberal side to the conservative side of the ledger. if you would like to donate, you can go to our website. thank you. he really gets to the crux here, that we as a nation have a history of valuing immigrants, valuing immigration if it serves our interest looking forward. the problem we have right now is that we need an immigration process in the future. host: mark krikorian? guest: we also get support from conservatives and liberals. we do not get any government funding and we do not get the direct mail type of funding because we are a think tank. the one point i would like to make substantively is, i want to make sure we do not repeat these mistakes of not having real homeland security. host: a tweet -- "bill we have an illegal employer problem -- don't we have an illegal employer problem?" guest: the unscrupulous employers, the ones who take advantage of workers. if we had a system that created

ali, thanks very much. our viewers may be wondering who that man speaking o ining on t of the house of representatives is, that's david dwyer. the republican congressman from california. he's getting ready to leave congress. this will be one of his last acts in this current 112th congress. david dryer, a veteran member of the house winding up with a big bang. he supports this fiscal cliff senate version and he's making that clear in his remarks. we have much more on the breaking news when we come back. the last man you would think would be in favor of the senate's plan sh the anti-tax crusader grover norquist. there he is. he'll join us. if by blessed youn freaked out about money well we suddenly noticed crusader grover norquist. there he is. he'll join us. sh the anti-tax crusader grover norquist. there he is. he'll join us. g the anti-tax crusader grover norquist. there he is. he'll join us. and the clothes still weren't as clean as with tide. so we're back to tide. they're cuter in clean clothes. thanks

can't wait for more drama from d.c. >> it's not nothing but ali says it's puny. joins us live now from washington this morning, up all night like the rest of us. we have any idea what happens next, brianna? >> well, the house is obviously in the court of the house they could vote on this as soon as today. in fact they could vote on this on the early side today, midday. but it's still to be seen. because house speaker john boehner needs to take this deal, and he needs to go before his conference, and he needs to say, hey guys, what do you think about this? so he'll have to go through this process of trying to sell this to his conference. the thing is, since mitch mcconnell, the top republican in the senate, negotiated this, presumably he did so with some buy-in from the speaker, and also this passed so overwhelmingly that the thought is, this will get some -- obviously some republican support. how much still to be determined, in the house. of course president obama wants the house to take this up right away. he says while neither democrats nor republicans got ever

>> reporter: yeah, that was one of the reports, victims were shot in the legs, ali.ospital and now we're hearing that these two victims came in with multiple gunshot wounds, did not say where those wounds were, but multiple gunshot wounds is the reported quote from that. we're also getting some other eyewitness testimony coming in from people who witnessed this, saying it was unlike other school shootings where someone walked in and began shooting. they believe this may have begun as a fight and that two people were arguing in the hallway near the admin building behind the library, when they started shooting at each other. and there are reports that a teacher somehow got caught in the cross fire. and you can remember the first witness, this mark saragosa saying he was treating someone he thought was a suspect who he claimed had been shot. if you put that into the mix and you have other eyewitness testimony saying they believe that these were people who were arguing in a hallway and then began firing at each other, then you start to put the pieces of the puzzle a litt

let's let ali weigh in. you got a question, ali? >> hey, steve, good to see you.ot sure there's anybody who obama would nominate for treasury secretary that the editorial pages of the "wall street journal" would be in favor of. maybe there is, who knows. but i would have thought you would have liked this. i'll tell you why -- your history is one of a tax fight. you're been a regulated tax fighter forever. founder of a club for growth. you have the same dna as grover norquist and pat toomey, guys like this. and this guy knows budgets, right? jack lew understands every detail about budgets. he's run the omb twice. whether or not you agree with where he comes from, the fact is this is a guy who can speak the right language when the biggest crisis -- you and i agree -- the biggest crisis in washington now is the fact that there's an absence of a budget. >> yeah, okay. that's a great point. let me address that. when i heard you talking about this before, it was the one thing you said i disagreed with. what i'm saying is, look, we have a fiscal crisis on our hands, a de

i'm ali velshi. the government has paid its bills on time for 237 years and now congress is threatening to blow it. earlier this week, the ratings agency fitch threatened to downgrade america's sovereign credit rating if washington failed to resolve the issue in a timely manner. s&p downgraded america's perfect credit rating back in august of 2011. fitch didn't do it at the time. but the last time we had one of these debt ceiling debacles that embarrassment was the first downgrade of u.s. credit in history. if congress doesn't act and we default for the first time ever, the consequences are likely to be severe for all of us. federal interest costs would likely rise, business and personal borrowing costs would probably follow. it would also make the struggle to manage our historic debt levels tougher. the worst thing that can happen if you're beck lg under debt, is for your interest rate to go up. it could mean higher taxes and more cults to programs and services from the government. any hope for a co

thank you, i just wanted to ask commander ali about the costs of implementing the program and so how much would the pilot program cost, but also include the cost of defibrillators and also, the training involved in the pilot program, how much is that going to cost? >> well i am actually the point person for the aeds and the cost there are going to be absorbed by the persons who are donating them to the police department, in fact we have a relationship with fssafe, if you look on thir website you can click on their website and make a donation to sf safe and they in turn are purchasing the defibrillators that would be donated to the police department. the cost of the initial price is ininclusive of all of the costs associated with the deployment of the aeds and cover 206 years in terms of the cost. the cost of the unit itself with replacement batteries and the replacement cups and so forth. the cost of the tasers has not been completely vetted at this point, we know roughly that each unit and it is somewhere around 1,000 a unit. >> and then the training? >> so, has this department have

. >> ali, thanks. that deal on the fiscal cliff which passed the senate this morning with nearly unified support from both parties hit a snag in the house but may be moving again. members of the rank and file have voiced objection. the republican majority leader said he won't support it without change, but now things may be getting resolved. how a big can go from a 89-8 sure thing on one side of the building to a heavy lift on the other side speaks to how washington works or doesn't work. what house republicans cannot stomach is the version that restores tax cuts and raises upper income taxes, puts off any action on serious spending cuts for two more months. it fails to do precisely what republicans and democrats set to do when they set this whole fiscal cliff mess in motion nearly a year and a half ago. >> we need to return to fiscal responsibility. >> how it is that we're going to be able to do that? getting our fiscal house in order. >> the american people have spoken loudly. they want us to get our

my name is mikal, i am not commander ali when i am having this level of contact with a person in crisis, as a result, right there, this disarms in many instances and allows us to engage. this level of training is taking place and we are doing it in connection with a multitude with different agencies both public and private in san francisco. we are currently going to have four additional trainings this coming year. we are also having discussions with the university of san francisco to model what has taken place in memphis, with the memphis police department and the university of memphis. i will stop right there, because i think that perhaps, probably good time to answer questions. >> supervisor compos? >> i want to thank you for hearing this important item and i want to thank the police department for being here and i know that the chief had to leave and we appreciate his comments and we have a number of members of the community who have been tracking these for years. the issues of tasers is something that something that san francisco like many other cities has been graveling with for qu

taking over the crisis intervention training program as in 2013, assignments have changed and commander ali will be focusing on other things but will be available for a historical perspective as to what has gone before. >> thank you. >> supervisor olague. >> i guess that i just think that it is unfortunate conversation to be having. because it seems to me that the focus really should be on... i believe that this is a public health issue. and meant to call the public health department, and never got around to it to ask them to be here today because it seems to me that mental health is an issue that there are a lot of people in this city, i believe, especially low income people, not especially, but there are a lot of people who are have those types of issues to deal with. and so, it seems to me that rather than the conversation be about what additional weapon can we use against people who are having a mental health crisis that the conversation should be how do we strengthen our cit program so that officers won't have the knee jerk reaction. to me it is creating the culture where it is okay to

ali velshi has some thoughts.nt obama says he won't negotiate any spending cuts with a gun held up to the head of the american people. from the cnn money newsroom, in new york, i'm ali velshi. this is your money. apple gets a bite taken out of its stock. toyota and gm are neck and neck again. first gold and now oil. california will be a prospector's dream again. and stocks are up, but should they be? first, president obama spoke with reporters today emphasizing his position that the debt ceiling is not a license to spend more. it is about paying bills that congress has already agreed to. he likened it to stiffing the waiter at a nice restaurant after gorging on a meal. >> you don't go out to dinner, and then, you know, eat all you want, and then leave without paying the check. and if you do, you're breaking the law. >> u.s. hit the debt ceiling on december 31st. the treasury is using so-called extraordinary measures to put off any default on its obligations, probably until about the middle of february. by then, co

. >> ali. >>> 47 minutes past the hour. new this morning, you know the senate passed that plan which may keep our fall off the fiscal cliff. >> it will be a short one. the plan keeps the bush era tax cuts in place for individuals earning less than 400,000 and couples earning less than $450,000. the house meets later. all eyes on the house of representatives. >>> civil rights activists known as the wilmington ten have been

i am ali velshi. >> i am christine romans. >> and quite a lot to talk about.hrough this morning, the senate passed a plan to fend off the fiscal cliff. but now it's up to the house of representatives to follow suit. just after 2:00 eastern time this morning, the senate overwhelmingly passed a plan that was crafted by the vice president and the senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell. vote? 89-8. the republican controlled house left well before midnight last night, so they will are to take up the measure today. >> i said all along, the most important priority was to protect middle class families. this legislation does that. >> this suhouldn't be the model for how we do things around here, but i think we've done some good for the country. >> bush era tax cuts extend for individuals earning less than 400,000 a year, and couples earning less than 450,000. ha means if you make more than that, your taxes going up. unemployment benefits extended for a year for 2 million americans and a permanent adjustment to the alternative minimum tax. a big deal for a lot of peopl
